Dear brothers and sisters,
today,
I will be talking about
what did we learn from Ramadan?
What should we do after Ramadan?
This is our task
today.
And alhamdulillah,
all thanks to Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala,
we prayed,
and we
did fast.
We decided to end. We prayed during the
night.
Most of us,
subhanahu wa, I was worried.
Help
for those brothers and sisters
who's working
a full time job
to fast for the long days
and
to break his fast
or her fast
and come
early to the Masjid
and to stay
for the prayer for
Tawish
prayer,
almost till midnight
every day. And, Subhanallah,
to come back again after 2 hours for
tahadrik,
and they pray Fadrik and stay after Fadrik
until sunrise, and they pray salatulbuha
and go back to their work.
Have those people really lived? It was impossible.
Granted most of us in the month of
Ramadan
a good opportunity
to increase
our level of good deeds, which is amazing.
But it's not about the month of Ramadan
now. It's more than the month of Ramadan.
What should we do after the month of
Ramadan? People are divided
into 2 groups
after the month of Ramadan,
the losers
and the winners.
And it's very easy to figure out,
are you among losers
or among
winners?
It's easy. Allah talks to us in
the Quran
that he will not accept
from anyone
except
from heights and righteous.
Indeed, Allah will accept
from pious and righteous
people.
After Ramadan,
we proved ourselves
We quit
bad deeds,
and we stay firm our religion.
We prayed.
We did fast. We did all good deeds.
We we able to make it.
But
after Ramadan,
some of us
changed
their mind,
and this is not good.
Why?
Because
the lord that we used to worship in
Ramadan,
he is the same lord
that we worship
after Ramadan.
There is no difference,
you know.
And this is bad
sign for the person
who worship who worship Allah
in the seasons only.
Fil Mawase.
Even the most difficult believer,
even while eating,
all all our body for the sake of
Allah
There is no difference between the time that
we will pray and the time when we
will sleep. Both of them
are good.
If we have intention,
just we doing that for the sake of
Allah subhanahu
wa'ala.
And when we
finish the month of Ramadan
with the
very
and we have to do salah with the
jama'ah after Ramadan.
We used to fast in the month of
Ramadan,
and this is the big gate for us.
And
what prophet Muhammad
told us about suya, about fasting, It's
amazing, you know, to have
suya every single month,
which is
13, 14, and 15
of every single
month,
and also every Monday and Thursday.
And this is how prophet Muhammad
used to do also for
the 10th of Al Mohammed,
the first
10 days of Al Muhammad,
and also the 10th of the hijack.
It's a lot of opportunities
for suyaq of fasten. Why we squeeze it
into the month of Ramadan only,
why we tied it up.
Just open it and
enjoy your life
to be connected with Allah
as much as you can.
We used to recite Quran. Some of us
finished Quran
entire Quran once or twice or three times
while we cut ourselves off from the revelation
of Allah
after Ramadan.
We proved ourselves we are able to finish
the whole Quran,
and
we need to make it after Ramadan.
We can reduce the amount,
but we should not
cut ourselves off
from the Quran, from the revelation of Allah
We used to donate
even
$1
on daily basis, which is good. Come to
me there.
Allah
will not look at
the quantity
that we donated,
but he will look at the quantity of
our donations.
And this is the idea. We have to
be more smarter and more wise.
We used to pay a single
every Friday, I come how many days in
the week, and I will donate the same
idea, the same mentality. When I visit the
Masjid every day, just pay $1 just $1
to prove yourself.
We proved ourselves in the month of Ramadan.
We still need to prove ourselves after the
month of Ramadan. Because
what we have done in the month of
Ramadan,
if we did not if we do not
continue,
it might be a big sign for
You need to protect yourself
from nifa
because monazilin, they
used to pray even behind the prophet Muhammad
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. And the Quran was
revealed to warn prophet Muhammad
are in the
the budget of Hilfig.
1, because they don't care about Allah
They don't care about the religion of Allah.
They care only about their limitations
among people,
and this is very bad side.
And even if some of us used to
have this bad intention
during the month of Ramadan, we have to
repent back to Allah
The
2.
And we can't judge ourselves. It's very easy
to see if we are among losers or
winners.
Our scholars
told us,
decide
for your good deeds
to be accepted
or rejected,
if you follow-up
after that in the same good deed that
you used to do before, this is good
sign that Allah accepted
your good deeds.
But if we did not continue in the
same good deeds that we
used to do in the month of Ramadan,
this is very bad sign
because
now you are dealing with the hypocrisy.
Because we were able to make it, and
we did a hundred that. Why?
We excuse ourselves after Ramadan. We are not
able to pray, you know, 5 times a
day with the jama'ah.
We are not able to do siyad anymore.
I'll humbly that. We are happy because we
finished the siyad.
Now we come back again to eat and
drink and enjoy our life. Fasting, it's enjoyable
time too.
We if we took it
for the sake of Allah
to say goodbye for the Quran until the
month the the next Ramadan for next year.
We have to be connected
with the revelations of Allah
At least 1 page
or 1
or whatever we can do, but do not.
And Nabi'ul
told us
the most superior good deeds,
the one that you will do it continuous.
Even even if you will do less,
but do not cut yourself off.
It's okay. It's acceptable
to do less than what you used to
do in the mouth of Ramabah, but do
not eliminate
any kind of that
restarted in the mouth of Ramabah. I'm not
talking about the one who's dealing with the
bad deeds after Ramadan
because
we have no relation with that person.
I'm talking about the one who's still obeying
Allah after the month of Ramadan, but he
or she might reduce the amount of.
They stay
booked. They stay in the safe side.
And we need to
go back again and increase our level of
Ibadah as much as we can because Allah
commanded us to worship him
24
7. Even when we go to bed, we
have intention to take a rest to to
empower ourselves
to continue worshiping Allah.
We will be rewarded for our sleep.
We will be rewarded for our food that
we were eating.
We will be rewarded for
the time that we spend to have fun
with our children or our families
or our
friends. As long as we have intention,
this is for the sake of Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala.
My death. For the sake of Allah
It's done.
We should not
choose the time
to worship Allah and not to worship him
in in other
time. All the time are
same when we worship Allah
because we are the same
people,
the servant of Allah. And
is the same
Lord.
There is no change. I still
Why we change our intentions or why we
change our level?
We have to stay
firm. A man came to prophet Muhammad sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam and asked him one question.
And he said, oh, messiah of Allah, tell
me a a a single thing.
I will not
ask anyone after you about it.
And the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
respond back to this
man,
and
he
said,
That's it.
This sentence
will include everything about Islam.
Say, I believe in Allah,
then
stay firm in your religion.
Do we have the same mentality?
I believe in Allah means
I should not associate anyone with Allah
anything with Allah
I should not be any partner
with
Allah. Children,
wives,
money,
nothing.
And when I have this mentality now,
I am a really
sincere
person for the sake of Allah
All of us.
And this is good step.
What will happen after that?
Should we stay firm in this mentality,
or should we change
our mentality after that?
And the one who used to worship Allah
in Ramadan
and change his mind after Ramadan or her
mind after Ramadan, this is very bad side.
Because
he or she proved themselves.
And now,
you come back again
to the bad situation that you had before
Ramadan. It's not make sense at all. You
proved yourself in Ramadan, and you need to
prove yourself after Ramadan too.
And if we feel that we are able
to worship Allah subhanahu wa'ala in the same
level,
This is a good sign and a glad
tidings
from Allah
that Allah accepted from us
because Allah mentioned in the Quran,
One day, prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi was reciting
the verse in Surat
And the mother of believers,
Asayd Aja, the abadi, pleased with her and
her father and all the companions
of Rasulullah
She asked prophet Muhammad,
oh, messenger of Allah, are those
people the one who disobeyed Allah,
they did a major sentence,
and they are afraid
if Allah will will accept their repentance
or not.
And the prophet Muhammad
replied back to her and said, no,
Those are the good people.
They are worshipping Allah.
They are praying. They fasting. They are
donating their wealth. And
they are afraid
if Allah will accept from them or not.
You see how it's difficult now?
Whatever
they give
for the sake of Allah, but they still
afraid
if Allah will accept it from them or
not.
Do you know if Allah accepted from you
or not?
Ask yourself.
If you stay in the same condition
after Ramadan,
this is good sign. This is the glad
tidings
from your door that he accepted
whatever you have done
godly in the month of Ramadan.
And keep doing it.
Don't stop
and don't quit.
And
make sure
when the death comes to you,
you have good condition with Allah
because
to increase your ibadah in the
the season time, it's okay.
But we are not sure
that we will die in the month of
Ramadan, even right away after the month of
Ramadan or in the time of Hajj or
after Hajj right away.
It's not guaranteed.
But for sure, we're gonna die, win among
us.
And we have to
make sure when we when we die,
we will die with the Islam.
We will not understand.
Islam. Allah told us we should not die
unless if we
practicing
Islam.
And help to know that you are practicing
Islam
if we
increase our level in Ibadah during the month
of Ramadan,
and we go down and after that,
and we might die
after
this time,
and
we will regret it because
we have some of us.
They used to come to Damascus every single
night. They used to cry every single
salah. They even they used to come back
after in the end of the night for
tahajjud,
subhanallah.
And some of us, they didn't care about
the month of Ramadan. They slept
for the whole night,
and they enjoyed their their time
as the the saving,
except for them.
And there is no difference, Subhanallah.
All of us are same now.
The one who was sick in Ramadan and
the one who was dead healthy in Ramadan,
we are saying now.
But the different
big difference in the result.
The one who will shift Allah
he has
a
whole, a bunch of bad deeds, but at
least his treasure is empty.
And
for sure,
he or she cannot make up what he
missed in the month from above. Just to
give all of us black tigers, we did
everything good, and
we have to stay firm.
Say, I believe in Allah, and
fasts
the month of Ramadan
and
from
our with the 6 days of Shabwa, look
like he has ruled all
the entire life
for fasting because
Ramadan is 30 days. Even if we did
only 29th,
we will have the complete reward for the
whole month, 30 days from Allah Azariah.
One would be equal 10 would be.
One day of Ramadan equal 10 days for
the rest of the year. 30 days of
Ramadan equal 300 days.
And 6 days of Shawwal
equal 60 days,
and this is the entire
year. If we do that every single year,
we will do siyam for the entire life,
and this is not the point. We we
recite the Quran, and we should not cut
ourselves off. We have to recite at least
1 page or 1, 2, 2, 3, 4,
whatever we can do that. We used to
do donation
in Ramadan,
very little donation. It's okay.
To be proud of
it on front of your door in the
day of judgement.
Do something
to
be surprised.
Even it's
few good deeds,
but with the sincerity,
you will be surprised about the word of
Allah
This is an advice for myself and my
brothers and my sisters. Today,
we should not
cut off our relation with Allah
We
used to worship him in the month of
Ramadan. We should continue
in the same level, in the same way
that we used to make it. And this
is the proof that we're still alive. That
we're still healthy. We're still wealthy.
We did not waste our money during the
month of Ramadan and we become poor. I'm
being sure that Allah will increase
anyone
who spend his wealth for the sake of
Allah because this is the promise of Allah
Allah asked us for a and
we give
Allah asked us
not to
We did
everything possible
to be close to Allah,
and I ask Allah
to help all of us out, to stay
firm in our religion, and to do whatever
we used to do in Ramadan even more
to prove our good relationship with our Lord,
almighty
